I prefer Kerosene. Diesel is supposed to yield a bit more power but it's real claim to fame is the price tag. It seems to me that it smokes a lot more, some engines require a change of settings in the ECU to run diesel. It also really stinks compared to Kero but it's not as stinky as Jet-A.

Without a doubt, kero will burn cleanest and smell up the car/shop/house less. Otherwise, I would ask Jet Central what their own recommendations are, as not all mfr’s have the same opinions and not even all engines from the same mfr are the same.

I've burned the clean Kero from the hardware store, Diesel and Kero from the pump, Kero is it for me because of these reasons.

Without a doubt, kero will burn cleanest and smell up the car/shop/house less.

Excellent choice!!


Don't forget to add bioborg if you use Kero or Diesel from the pump, very important.
